Title: Tunnel Rat
Post by: Col.Stone on February 26, 2008, 09:04:52 PM

I painted my first tunnel rat today,
it's a conversion on a TAG vietnam dolly, so any not-good looking parts* will come from me and the good bits are theirs ;)
it's very dirtylooking on purpose, of course..
*Arms equipment hair

You will have to remember all the boobie traps they used, snakes, faeces form disease ridden persons, false floors, poisoned tunnels, tunnels that collapse and the pungi sticks :mrgreen:

I know i know, lots of work.. :lol:
reading up on what i'll need in FNG, they have a random layout-table for tunnelsystems that i thought i'd use for what i need..


I'll be making a lovecraftian/chaos underground temple at the same time too, have a set of the old Wild walls for that :)
just have...to..get..started

I know an ex-tunnel rat. While he rarely talks about it, what he does tell is truly chilling. Nice conversion job. I don't see anything to be ashamed of at all!

Great idea for a game. Looking forward to seeing the tunnels now. No pressure :)

Aaron, it's the pictures themselves i'm not too happy with, but it's a hassle for me to get pics taken so they'll do :)
I know enough from reading about them that i wouln't want to have been one. :?

Yup tunnels are being planned as i write this, i got some expanding foam and paint ready, just need to pick up some kind of cheap basematerial (i think floortiles of some sort would be good ) and  i should be ready to go:)
